Great market report Penny! Just look at the number difference between this year and last. Love it... But those listing numbers are a tad scary... especially if the market starts to heat up in January as I think it will.

There are many areas right now that are at a 6 month supply - which is "balanced market" point. Anything less than 6 months is a seller's market. Cary/Apex/Morrisville is one of those at 6 months. Based on the sales rates, looks like we'll be seeing some strong competition next year.
